Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
If this is clear water then there is no need to be worried. This is so called seroma and this happens commonly after such surgeries . However, if there is pus, redness and swelling, it may be sign of infection and then you should seek medical attention.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
DR. Ivan Rommstein
